航空專業界別 致力為本地培育更多飛機工程專才 The Aircraft Engineering Discipline to Nurture Aircraft Engineering Professionals
| (香港，二零一二年三月十五日) 香港航空業發展日益蓬勃，對飛機工程專才的需求不斷上升。為配合航空業界的發展，香港工程師學會 (下稱「學會」) 設立航空專業界別，專責制訂專業飛機工程師及技術人員在教育、培訓及經驗方面的要求，並且與業界携手合作，希望吸引更多年青人投身飛機工程專業，推動香港成為航空工程業的全球服務中心，同時鞏固香港作為亞太區航空樞紐的領先地位。 香港國際機場是世界最繁忙的航空樞紐之一，去年飛機升降量達到創紀錄的333,760架次。航空業在本港經濟發展更扮演著重要角色，根據政府統計處的資料，2009年航空業對本地經濟帶來的直接和間接貢獻高達1,163億元，佔本地生產總值的7.5%。隨著機場西停機坪落實動工，加上擬建的第三條跑道，香港航空交通業將加快發展步伐。 香港工程師學會會長陳福祥工程師表示：「培訓足夠數量的專業飛機工程人員，對支持香港航空業的進一步發展至為關鍵。鑑於飛機工程需要專業知識及技能，學會特別設立航空專業界別，負責訂定專業飛機工程師及技術人員的資格。界別顧問小組又制訂有關工程人員在教育、培訓及經驗方面所需的要求，並進行會員資格評審，藉此確立飛機工程師的專業地位，提升其社會認受性。現時航空專業界別共有331名會員，今年稍後學會將成立航空分部，為會員提供相關專業學術活動。」 為了讓有志加入飛機工程專業發展的年青人獲得系統性的培訓，學會創辦了「飛機工程師培訓計劃」，內容包括導修課程、實地考察、在職培訓、導師指導及網上支援，為大學畢業生提供一條快捷的途徑，考取由民航處授予的HKAR-66 Category B 飛機維修執照。 此外，為了讓新聞界了解專業飛機工程人員的工作，學會今日安排傳媒實地參觀位於將軍澳工業邨之香港航空發動機維修服務有限公司 (HAESL)。HAESL為本港唯一負責維修民用航機引擎的公司，僱用超過1,050名員工，去年總共完成198台飛機引擎的維修工程。 引擎仿如一架飛機的心臟，維修工程需要專門的設備及技術知識，因此HAESL特別重視工程人員的技術培訓。為配合業務擴展的需求，HAESL今年計劃增聘180名技術人員，包括工科畢業生培訓計劃的見習生及飛機引擎維修見習員，為年青人提供投身飛機工程業的良好機會。 工科畢業生培訓計劃提供為期四年的架構性培訓，首兩年為根據香港工程師學會工科畢業生計劃制訂的跨職能培訓，隨後見習生會被派往公司其中一個核心營運部門接受持續訓練。在受訓期間，見習生亦將被借調至航空公司及引擎製造商工作，讓他們對航空業有更深入的瞭解，以及熟悉商業合作夥伴之運作。 歡迎中五畢業生加入的飛機引擎維修見習員，主要負責飛機引擎元件或零件的維修工作。新入職學員需要接受160小時的基本培訓，HAESL並提供良好的晉升階梯，讓年青人得以在前景良好的飛機工程行業盡展所長。只要努力奮鬥，透過專業培訓及持續進修，見習員亦有機會晉升成為此行業的專業工程師。 未來20年將會是亞太區商用航空交通發展的重要階段。國際航空運輸協會曾估計，由2008 年至2030 年期間，香港國際機場客運量的複合年增長率為3.2%，將為有志在飛機工程方面發展的年青人創造大量機會。 此外，學會現正舉行「卓越工程建構優質生活」特備展覽，讓年青一代更深入了解工程師工作之重要性。展覽以「衣、食、住、行」為主題，透過生動有趣的形式，展示一系列圍繞我們日常生活的工程項目。例如，「衣」有利用可再生能源為電子產品充電的太陽能背包；「食」會解構香港的食水來源以至供應系統；「住」展出利用近年流行的流動裝置及無線網絡遙距操控家居電器的智能家居示範單位；而隨著學會成立航空專業界別，「行」的展區特別介紹最新型航機的製造過程和特點。展覽以生活化的內容向公眾介紹專業工程師如何運用卓越科技及工程知識，建構優質生活。 「卓越工程建構優質生活」特備展覽詳情如下：

To meet the needs of the development of the industry, the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) has established the Aircraft Discipline with the mission of defining the education, training and experience requirements of professional aircraft engineers and technologists. The Discipline also works closely with the industry as a whole to encourage the younger generation to pursue aircraft engineering as a career. All these initiatives aim at enhancing Hong Kong's function as a global service centre for the aerospace engineering industry and at reinforcing its position as the Asia Pacific region's premier aviation hub. As one of the busiest aviation hubs in the world, Hong Kong International Airport achieved a new record of 333,760 aircraft movements in 2011. The aviation industry also plays a crucial role in the economic development of Hong Kong. According to the Census and Statistics Department, the aviation industry's direct and indirect contributions to the local economy amounted to HK$116.3 billion in 2009, accounting for 7.5% of the GDP. With the development of the West Apron and the proposed third airport runway, Hong Kong air traffic is expected to grow at a faster pace. Ir Chan Fuk-cheung, President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, said, "The provision of adequate aircraft engineering professionals is critical to support the healthy development and growth of the aviation industry. In view of the particular domain of knowledge and skills required for aircraft engineering, the HKIE has set up the Aircraft Discipline with the objective of training and qualifying professional aircraft engineers and technologists in Hong Kong. The Aircraft Engineering Discipline Advisory Panel also defines the profession's education, training and experience requirements and conducts assessments for admission to membership. In addition to nurturing and developing aircraft engineers, the Discipline also aims at raising their standing and visibility in the community. With membership in the Discipline growing to 331, the HKIE will establish the Aircraft Division later this year to provide professional and academic activities for members." The HKIE has also launched the Aircraft Engineer Development Scheme (AEDS) to offer systematic training for young people who are eager to develop their career in the aircraft engineering profession. The Scheme consists of course work, field trips, on-the-job training, mentorship, and on-line portal support. It provides a fast track for university graduates to achieve the HKAR-66 Category B Aircraft Maintenance Licence granted by the Civil Aviation Department. To give the media a better understanding of the work of aircraft engineering technologists, the HKIE today organised a media visit to Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited (HAESL) at Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate. HAESL is the only facility in Hong Kong that is purpose built for the repair and maintenance of civil aircraft engines and employs more than 1,050 staff. The company completed the overhaul of 198 aero engines in 2011. Like the heart of an aero plane, the repair of an aero engine requires specific equipment and technical know-how. For that reason, technical training of technologists is HAESL's top priority. To cope with the company's expansion, HASEL plans to recruit around 180 technical staff, including Engineering Graduate Training Programme trainees and Aero Engine Repair Trainees. The positions provide an excellent career path for young people to develop their capabilities in the aircraft engineering industry. The Engineering Graduate Training Programme aims to develop a pool of professional engineers through a four-year, structured training curriculum. This comprises two years of cross-functional training within the business in line with the requirements of the HKIE Scheme A Training, followed by a two-year placement in one of the core operational units. During the training period, trainees will undertake secondments with airlines and aero engine manufacturers to broaden their understanding of the aviation industry and to give them early exposure to some of the company's major business partners. Open to form five students, the position of Aero Engine Repair Trainee is responsible for the repair of components and parts of an aero engine. Newly recruited trainees have to undergo basic training lasting a total of 160 hours. Those with a strong work ethic and a positive attitude will also have the opportunity of becoming an aircraft engineer through professional training and continuous learning. The next 20 years will see significant growth in commercial air transport in the Asia Pacific region. The International Air Transport Association has forecast that the passenger throughput of Hong Kong International Airport will grow at a compound annual rate of 3.2% between 2008 and 2030. There are ample opportunities for young people who aspire to develop their career in the field of aircraft engineering. Currently on, the HKIE's "Technology for Quality Living" Programme special exhibition has been organised to raise awareness among the younger generation on the importance of the engineering profession. The exhibition featuring "Clothing, Food, Housing and Transportation" demonstrates a series of engineering projects closely related to our daily life. For example, the "Clothing" section showcases a solar backpack that makes use of renewable energy to charge electronic devices while the "Food" section explains the source of our drinking water and the water supply system in Hong Kong. Visitors can also experience the smart home at the "Housing" section, where tablet computers and a wireless network enables remote control of home appliances. With the development of the aircraft engineering discipline, the manufacturing process and features of the latest aircrafts are featured at the "Transportation" section. The exhibition illustrates how professional engineers are bringing quality living to the public by means of their technological and engineering excellence. Details of the special exhibition are as follows:
